Polygraph machines (a/k/a “lie detectors”) have become nearly ubiquitous in crime dramas and movies. But how much of what you see is fact and how much is Hollywood fiction?

Join polygraph examiner Lisa Ribacoff for a crash course and interactive experience focused on the myths vs. realities of the lie detector. What actually happens when someone is in the hot seat? Can someone ‘cheat’ on the exam? Does being willing to take a polygraph exam imply that person is innocent or truthful?

Lisa will be discussing the reasons why polygraph tests are administered in the first place and will show attendees the important differences between a “made-for-TV” exam and one that is performed in the course of a real investigation.

If you’ve ever been fascinated by the lie detector and its role in the criminal justice system this is a session you won’t want to miss.
